Just a 'pretty' face?

So, I'm at the post office.

I've got a letter, 4 parcels, 2 packages, my purse, a set of keys and Elliott in my arms. You know, standard luggage.

I get to the counter.

"awwww, isn't she pretty!" the lady next to the lady serving me exclaims. I turn around to see the beautiful baby she speaks of. There's nobody there.

I turn back around. The lady is staring at ME!

Pardon? I ask, just to make sure.

"Your baby!", she says, "she has such a pretty face!"

And I realise. She's talking about Elliott.

He's wearing grey stretchy-pants, a green long sleeve tee and a big toothy smile.

"Um, he's actually a boy" I say to her.

"oh really?" she says, in a tone of disbelief "well, he has a very pretty face!"


riiiiiight.


Cute? yes.

Cheeky? Most definitely.

Handsome? It is my job to think so.

But pretty?

You decide...
